Xiaomi’s groundbreaking MIX series might be making a comeback with an improved under-display camera, according to recent leaks. The lineup, known for pushing smartphone design boundaries, last impressed with the 2021 MIX 4 and its nearly invisible front camera. Now, fresh reports suggest Xiaomi is preparing its next big innovation in screen technology.
The Xiaomi MIX 5 device will bring back the under-display camera
Xiaomi pioneered under-screen camera tech with the MIX 4, solving one of smartphone design’s biggest challenges – how to eliminate notches and punch-holes without sacrificing camera quality. While early versions had some compromises like reduced pixel density over the camera area, Xiaomi’s solution stood out with its micro-perforated pixel design that maintained display consistency.
Reliable leaker Digital Chat Station claims Xiaomi has made significant progress, with a next-generation under-display camera ready for mass production. The technology is reportedly at “industry-leading levels,” suggesting major improvements in both display quality and camera performance. If true, this could mean the upcoming MIX 5 will finally deliver the perfect balance of seamless design and uncompromised functionality that smartphone enthusiasts have been waiting for.
With competitors still struggling to perfect under-display cameras, Xiaomi‘s potential comeback could once again put them at the forefront of smartphone innovation. The MIX series has always been about bold design choices, and this next iteration might be its most impressive yet.
